In Tzonmolco, my fathers, shall I cheat you?
In Tzonmolco, my fathers, shall I cheat you?

In Mecatlan, my lords,
the yucca drum lies croaking
In Chicueyocan, to the sorcerer's house
The sorcerer came down

In Tzonmolco, the songs are being sung
which we have started
In Tzonmolco, the songs are being sung
which we have started
Here's why it's time, to come out disguised
Here's why it's time, to come out disguised

In Tzonmolco
let one of the people be given it
the day's light dawns, the day's light dawns
let one of the people be given it

In Tzonmolco
the servitor's song, loudly resounds
through hardship the lords
attain their contentment
their benefits, glory
O little woman
summon the people
Mist-house dweller
in the region of rain
summon the people
